vegetables, and there is absolutely no iced
Tor stock. His neighbors are forced to
leave their holdings to obtain the neces-
saries Of life, and he asks if this absence
will operate to defeat their claim when fin
al proof is offered
The commissioners answer is important
as indicating the policy OF the general land
office with respect to those cases Of which
there arc a large number in the northwest.
The comm issioner, after expressing sym
pathy and promising what relief the Office
can grant, says:
Settlers who are obliged to leave their
claims On account Of the drouth should be
prepared to account for their absence from
this cause when they made final proof;
but in such case proof should not be offer
ed until the law has been fully complied
with after their return to the land. Alb.
sence on account of climate reasons will
not imperil tile claims If the fact is estab-
lished when proof is made and if proof is
not attempted to be made in advance OF
the time when the residence, improve
ments and cultivation required by law
can be satisfactorily shown.

Look Out for the Rascals.

Last Tuesday evening two festive
scamps of the swindler order arrived in
town 10y the midnight train. On We'd
nesday they hired a rig of John Lutes
and started out in search of victim.
They learned David Flagler wished to
sell his farm and called at his place to
see him. But not being at home they
told Mrs. Flagler that they would be
back next day and departed. That
night festive scamp No. B arrived in
town and Thursday morning all three
started out. but before arriving at Flag
ler's No. 3 was left by the way, the
other two going on. Flagler was at
home and was pleased to see the gen
tlemen who offered him a good round
price for his farm. He showed them
around, invited them to stay to dinner
which they did, and after dinner they
all sauntered over the farm talking
over the deal and perfecting their ar
rangements. The buyers would be
back next day and pay for the farm,
At this juncture No. arrived and told
the party strange story of how he had
taken up with stranger and how the
strange had fleeced him. but he said he
had secured his cards and knew now
that no one could get the start of him
with that he produced his three card
monte deck and went to work and the
men who had bought the farm became
wonderfully interested and got to bet
ting until one of them had won S15
The player shifted his cards again anC
the other bet S15 he could name the
right card, after making the bet he was
sure of winning and would bet an ever

The Derby Railroad Question.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
I have watched with a great deal of inter
est the arguments for and against the city
selling its interest in the Derby railroad to
the Housatonie Valley railroad, and have
come to the conclusion that the matter is not
fully understood by the public AS look at
it, the Housatonic railroad has made q fair
offer. If accepted, what does the Housatonic
railroad get and what does it cost them? 1t
gets 2, 900 of the 4, ,460 shares of the stock of
the Derby railroad. It costs them cash
$175, ,000, first mortgage bonds $500, 900, total
bonds guaranteed by the city become then
first mostgage bonds, thereby making it SO
much safer for the city. Now add to the
$475, 900 and 1925, 900 $49, 200 for the other
2, AGO shares of stock at $50 per share (held
by parties who think they are going to be
frozen out, and if they keep on submitting to
be froze as they have dene for the past six
built they ought to be stiff by this time-I
admit was frozen out ten years ago and got
So for my stock) it will make the total $749,
200 for the Derby railroad, and a new road
can now be built for sec, 900 per mile, I
think for $50, 900, and the Derby cost $76,-
$50 per mile when real estate and other ma
terials were at the highest notch.
I don't care a whit if the CITY does or does
net sell to the Housatonic Valley railroad or
some other parties, but do care to have this
agitation settle the question that the extern
tion shall be built, and am inclined to think
the Seymour etc. railroad is preferable as a
feeder for business, and am thoroughly sat
isfed the extention will be good thing for
the Derby railroad. and of great benefit to
the business of our city.
was one of those that advocated the
building of the Derby railroad, and everyone
admits to-day that it has been great benefit
to this city, and likewise I am of those in
favor of the city selling it, and am satisfied
that the present day kickers will admit this
likewise to be good movement in time.
